Regardless of specialization, each participant (after the conclusion of the program) will be expected to complete the following STANDARD REQUIREMENTS:

One 2-page primary source analysis on a translated, open-access primary source of their choosing;

Two entries of their choosing to the timeline. Each entry will be 250-300 words in in length. It will define the entry (name, date, location) and provide the larger historical significance. It will also include an image;

One targeted, annotated bibliography on a particular theme of their choosing. These annotated bibliographies will include at least 5 titles, each with a 300-400-word annotation;

Two entries to our social media feed after the conclusion of the seminar (could be a resource, blog piece, etc).

In addition to the above requirements, each participant will need to choose an “educator” or “researcher” path to complete additional assignments.

Educator Path

In addition to the above standard requirements, each participant on the EDUCATOR path will complete:

Two (2) one-page primers on a particular topic of their choosing that will include a list of additional resources;

One additional primary source analysis;

One (1) complete lesson plan that takes a comparative approach to Atlantic Revolutions. This lesson plan will use a standard format and template (Understanding by Design) and should include:

Researcher Path

In addition to the above standard requirements, those on the RESEARCHER path will complete:

Two (2) one-page primers on a particular topic of their choosing that will include a list of additional resources;

One additional primary source analysis;

One additional timeline entries;

One additional targeted, annotated bibliography on a particular theme of their choosing.

Final projects will be due within three weeks of the conclusion of the workshop (by July 9, 2018). Pre- and post-workshop work, along with the workshop schedule (below), is appropriate for a 3-credit class. Participants can attend the workshop for credit or not for credit. In advance of the workshop, participants will be asked to complete a short list of readings, including selected chapters from Willem Klooster’s Atlantic Revolutions. During the workshop, participants will be expected to read primary sources and engage in small (1-2 page) writing exercises to advance the role-play simulation. Homework during the workshop will not take longer than 1.5 hours daily to complete. Ample time will be set aside during the week to discuss logistics of final projects.
